Best Acting Ability?


I was just watching the movies Dogma on the television, and I thought that some of the script was well-written. Near the end of the movie, Ben Affleck (as the Angel Bartleby) has some good lines to deliver:

_______________________

BARTLEBY
This is no longer God's House. God doesn't live here anymore.

The crowd turns, aghast. Bartleby pushes his way through them, sheepishly followed by Loki.

BARTLEBY
He's grown weary of your superficial faith and has
turned a deaf ear to your lip-service prayers. He
is no longer amused, and has abandoned you - His
favorites - to the whim of judgement. Hypocrites
and charlatans - prepare to taste God's wrath!

_______________________

Powerful words, but I couldn't help but wish that there was a more talented actor speaking them. Ben Affleck cannot act. Nether can Brad Pitt, in my opinion. In everything I've seen him in, he was awful.

What Ben Affleck does, can't even be called acting... But Brad has good movies, like Kalifornia, Seven years on Tibet, Fight Club, and already mentioned Seven, and Twelve Monkeys. (I won't say Interview with the Vampire... I know) :)

Okay, Brad Pitt is the clear winner of this poll. But "plank of wood" still gets over three times as many votes as Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck is terrible but Brad Pitt at least has some talent.
